An interesting legal point- cropped up in the Supreme Court, before Mr Justice -MacGregor in the case of Mansfield v. How. awarding damages to the plaintiff (Mrs Mansfield) against George How for alleged wrongful ejection from premises of which the defendant was tiie owner. On behalf of the respondent. Mrs Mansfield. Mr )\ . E. Leicester contended that the question as to the requisite notice necessary to determine a weekly tenancy had never been decided in New Zealand. Alter hearing legal argument, his Honour held that he was hound by an English decision, which determined that a proper week’s notice to end the weekly tommy was a notice expiring at the end of the periodic week of tenancy. In this case, as the tenancy ran from Monthly to Monday, and the notice h*,*d been given on (Saturday to expire on the following Saturday, he would have to hold that it was invalid. For the appellant. Mr N. A. Barker contended that the damages awarded were excessive. 11 is Honour reserved hi- decision on this point.
